Ratings and reviews

This app only allows Korean citizens to use. Even if you have a Korean ID number, it doesn't matter. I find that beyond ridiculous. It should be available to all people who have Korean ID numbers. I wish I were able to write more reviews and bring their ratings down, then maybe they would read the comments and do something about it.

Kakao banking one of the most convenient banking system apparently only local residents can be used. If the system can be more flexible such as provide services to the foreigners in Korea base on Visa status . Kakao banking will be more widely used (100%)more by many people. 카카오뱅킹 너무편리하게 사용할 수 있는 시스템으로 되어 있지만 내국인만 사용 가능하고 외국인은 사용 불 가능해서 너무 안타깝네요. 미래에 한국에 살고 있는 외국인들도 비자에 따라서 사용 가능할 수 있도록 개발할 수 있게 바래요~~

Can't use without Kakaotalk account. FYI, if you are a foreigner, you can't open a bank account; but it is same in U.S. and many other countries. This is not a one-time prepaid cash account but it is a reloadable banking account from an internet bank.
